To-day Mr B mton brought forward his promised bill to tax the circulation of Bank notes. The fol lowing are a few extracts from Mr Denton's remarks upon the occasion : lie said nothing was more reasonable than to require the moridinterest which was employed m banking, and especially in SS profit finRwhdedicatoltoA2 nd tl iM,SlneSS of verting lampblack anu lags into money. interest T' Mr B' said e banking nte.est was subject to taxation.

In our own country. Mr . snid ikQ unu ng interest had formerly been taxed, and that m all us branches: in its circulation, its dis counts, and us bills of exchange. This was during the late war with Great Britain. By a perversion of every principle of righteous taxation, the tax on banks' was abolished, and that on salt was continued, lnis has remained the case for twenty-five years, and it is time to reverse the proceed ing. It is time to make the banks pay, and to let salt go free. Mr B. next stated the manner of levyino the bank tax at present in Great Britain, which he said was done with great facility and simplicity. It was a levy ofa fixed sum on the average circulation of the year, which the bank was required to give in for taxation like any other property, and the amount col lected by a distress warrant if not paid. W e borrowed the banking system from the English, w ith all its foreign vices, and then added others of our own to it. England has suppressed the pestilence of notes under 51 (near $25;) we retain small notes down to a dollar, and thence to the fractional parts ofa dollar. Mr B. having vindicated his bill on British and American precedent, as well on reason and principle, went on to state its details, and to show thq probable amount ofthe tax it would produce. He stated that he proposed a tax of one per centum per annum on the notes of twenty dollars and upwards; of two per cent, on the notes of five dollars, and un der twenty; and four per cent, on the notes under rive dollars. Mr B. said that neither the idea of his bill, nor the argument in favor of ifT was original with him. They had both been used by oth ers long since, and especially by Mr Gallatin ten years ago. Mr B. submitted his bill, with the declara tion that it was one of the measures for the protection ofthe constitutional currency, and the restriction ofthe paper system, which went to the foundation of parties,- that it con cerned the great question of the age that of the currency on which Jefferson and Ham ilton divided fifty years ago, and on which Democracy and Federalism must continue to div ide until the question of mastery and per manent supremacy was decided between the banks and the people.

The vole to lay it on the tahle was IS for and 22 against it, from which it may be inferred that it was received. It was ordered to be printed. The Senate then adjourned till Monday next, 2Sth HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Monday, Dec. 21, 1840.

Increase of Population. The rapidity with which the human race is increasing is truly surprising. Four thousand years ago, all the inhabitants of this earth were destroyed by water, except eight persons, namely Noah and his family. Since then, they have increased until the present population of the world is more than eight hundred million. The solid parts of the globe, altogether, contain thirty-tw o billions of acres, superfici al measure. At that rate it will not be long before there will be one human being for every acre of land. Thus (inversely) 800,000,000 : 4000 : : 32,000,000,000. S00,000,000 X 40003,200,000,000,000. 3,200,000,000,00032,000,000, 000 100 years. PROOF.

The Star of Florida, printed at Tallahassee, of the Sth inst. says: A murder the most distressing, was committed on Friday night last, at Sally's Mills, Jefferson county, by, it is supposed, rim-away negroes. The victim was Mr James Van Horn, a resident in this city, who was shot while endeavoring to defend a smoke house which the nee-roes were endeavoring to force open. Two shots were fired one at the deceased, and one at another person who was with him only one of which took effect. The camp of, it is presumed , the same negroes, was discovered only a few days previous to the murder and about five hundred pounds of bacon taken therefrom. Mr Van Horn has left a youug and interesting family to mourn his loss. Boundary New s. Mr McLaughlin pas sed through Woodstock, N.

The mail steam packet Walker, bound to Mobile, burst her boiler on Sunday when within nine miles of that place. By this accident four persons were hurled overboard and killed, and nine others wounded. Among the latter is our estimable fellow citizen James H.

I come, my friends, to yield my tribute, To those whose smiles I fain would merit : And greet them, on this hajipy day With nature's simple, and unmeasured lay. A New Years dawned ! It hath its hopes, Pregnant wi'h bliss ! though oft in tropes, It hath its fears 'hough groundless they But apprehension bids Jhem stay. It hath its pleasures ! Bright, they eem, But touch them, and oft they prove a dream ; It hath its Good and Evil, well I know, But which preponderates, I leave for you to show. It hath its Spring, ah ! how bright, how gay ; It hath its Summer, oh ! how fierce its ray ; It hath its Autumn, with abundant stores And Winter, with its frozen shores. E'en as the year, so is the Human heart ; Its flowers they bloom : and yet depart Its cultured fruit will ripen fair, If Virtue's seed is planted there. It hath its Spring of merry glee Its Summer's Sun its Summer's sea Its Autumn mellowing every scene, Its Winter, with its ever-green. But what of this ? Methinks you say, Why, why ? obtrude, thy moody lay? And touch on things which all admit As true, " Though you, had never writ." My answer's plain. The world is wrong ; Its tastes, its prejudices, all too strong; 'Tis policy, not right which governs many, And impudence, not merit, gets the penny To countervail this error ofthe times, Your Carrier comes, tho' humble be his rhymes; He'd claim a credit, for a good intention And something else, uhich, need he mention ? Not censor he ; this, this he would disclaim, He'd call you back to things of nobler aim ; The mind's improvement ! 'Tis this, which makes the man ; The rest will perish, all, I care not what's the plan. The Carrier's task is done ; his errand's ended; His speech is plain, pray, do not be offended, His wishes best, for you are given, He'd call on you the choicest smiles of Heaven! The body ofa man by the name of Samuel Johnson, who formerly owned and kept the Spring House Hotel, a little distance from the city on the old York Road, and who has been missing, since Monday last, was found on Saturday morning in a shed adjoining the house, buried about eighteen inches in the ground the head was very much cut and was in a horrible state. ' The deceased was about 60 years of age and had a short time before sold his hotel for $3000. The knowledge of hi.-; having the money in his possession, has no doubt caused the commission of the hor rid act. An individual on whom suspicion has fastened has since absconded. , , . . j The examination before Alderman Clark, elicited the following additional circumstan ces: It appears that the house, in .which the deceased lived, was rented by a man named Heffner; two other families also resided in the house: the deceased had the second story front room; he did no work, but subsisted on the dividend.? of some railroad stock which he owned. He told h?.-? wife on Moaday last that he would go to the city to receive a divi dend, amounting to about $90. After being awav some time, nis wile Deine aiaimeu ci his not returning, asked Heffner if he had seen him; he said yes, he had seen him on the road, and that he was going into the coun try on business. Mrs. Johnson had been for some time importuning Heffner to grant her the use of an outhouse or shed, which had been used for storing of rubbish. He evaded her request from time to time, using as his excuse that he had not the key. She at last gained admittance, when the first thing she saw on the floor was her husband's hat. This excited her suspicion, and. causing a search to be made, the body was at length dragged out from under the floor, mutilated -in the most horrible manner, three distinct cuts were visible, one ofthe hands was much. bruised, as if it had been raised to ward off a blow. A hatchet and a chisel Were. -found, - stained with blood; there was 'also" produced .a blue jacket and pantaloons, and yellow ' buckskin gloves, much stained with blood the . jacket very much so. Heffher's wife recognized them as her husband's, and said that he : had been wearing his best clothes for a few days past, gipinsr as his reason that he was,f going out on business. He did not goji however. Mrs. H. was very composed during the trial, and solemnly averred her ignorance ofthe murder. HetTner was in the yard at the time made at his house. . This resulted, we learp, in the discovery of a suit of his clothing exr cessively besmeared with blood. He was forthwith apprehended. Mr Scott was an old and esteemed resi dent of the County, and was reputed to be wealthy. The hope of securiug his money led to a scheme of murder, as boldly con ceived and deliberately executed as any furn ished by the annals of crime. The escape of the girl alone prevented full execution of the plan. If she had fallen, all explanation of the mystery would have been impossible. The house and bodies of the slain would have been consumed together, and the murderer would have possessed in security the poor re ward effnis atrocities, beyond the fear of de tection. The same mail also brings us the account of another murder, committed under the in fluence of jealousy. From the Virginia Star Dc. ICtli. A murder of the most atrocious character, we understand, was committed in the conntv of Dinwiddle, on Sunday morning last by Jeremiah Conway, on the person of Edward Lewis, a young man, only'about IS years of age, who, at the time when the murder was committed, resided with Conway's family. It appears that Lewis had dressed himself with the intention of goiua: to Church, and was in the act of stepping out ofthe portico, having his back turned towards Conway's chamber door, when C. advanced within a few steps of hirn, (having a gun heavily charged with buck shot,) and fired, when Lewis fell, having re ceived the entire contents of the gun in the neck and back part of the head! The only supposable . cause assigned for the perpetra tion of this dreadful act, was jealousy, on the part of Conway. After the act was commit ted, Conway made no effort to escape, and when questioned in relation to the murtier, positively declared that he knew nothing about it. He has been committed to the jail f Dinwiddie county, where he awaits his trial fortius outrageous act.

It is a great vulgarism to take out your watch in company to see the time. It infers you arc tired of your society and wish to cave. From the Portsmouth (Va.) TimeiT Dec. 15th. We learn that a series of most atrocious murders was perpetrated by a miscreant in Southampton County, on Monday night. An aged Quaker ofthe name of Scott, residing not far from Jerusalem, his sister, also aged, a little girl, about nine years old named Pret low, a negro woman and her child were, suc cessively butchered to further the design of robbery, entertained by their destroyer. Six persons were on the premises' at the time and but one escaped. This was a young ne crro girl. She relates, we understand, that a ma?1 residing in the neighborhood visited the house il little after sunset and spent the evening uV the .re-side of Mr Scott in con versation 'with the family As he was about to quit, he asked Mr S. to alk with him to the gate, as ho had a word to say to him in private. To this the unfortunate man con sented. . The girl saw no more ofhiin. A violent struggle was next heard in the kitchen. The murderer armed with a short heavy dogwood pestle, had seized the negro woman, and was beating out her brains when the aged sister of Mr Scott, attracted by the noise, appeared and begged him to desist. Irrevocably bent on his design he instantly despatch the poor negro, and seized the old lady felled her to thefloor with a blow ofthe pestle. A negro boy about nine years old was then killed in the same manner, lie next proceeueu search of the little white girl and tac negress. The latter made her escape un observed. The other child was not so for tunate. She was caught in the room and murdered as summarily as the rest. Not seeing the negro girl, and resolved to leave no clue to his fearful secret, the mons ter made a careful search in the rooms turn inc over the beds and scanning every corner narrowly. Convinced that one of the family had escaped, he seems to have gone off with out consumating the robbery. The girl fled immediately to the nearest neighbors, and communicated what had occurred in her sight and hearing. They repaired to the premises forthwith, and found the melancholy confirma tion of her story. The murderer had fled, and the house was burning slowly. The fire was extinguished before it had defaced the bodies, or done much injury to the building. In the morning among the spectators of the night!a bloody fruit, was the individual spoken ofby the girl as the actor in the scene. He o-ave an instant contradiction to her story, and referred to the absence of blood from his clothing as proof of his innocence.
